The Well-Mannered Classroom

Of course, no manual can enumerate every rule of behavior necessary for a community to function. Common sense, good manners, historic precedent and other elements help maintain the University as a community. Set the right tone and expectations at the beginning of the semester and you’ll go far toward forging a strong learning community by semester’s end.

Assume the best of your students.

Show not only your passion for the discipline and the course subject matter but also for the art of teaching.

Model the “good behavior” you want your students to follow in their interactions with you and each other.
